Background: Disordered gaming and problem gambling (DG/PG) are associated with a range of functional impairments as well as psychiatric comorbidity. With the proliferation of digital gaming apps aimed at children and adolescents, which involve in-game purchases, there is increasing evidence that DG/PG are on the rise in this age range. The behavior can be detected in youth presenting at school-bas
A wideband power amplifier (PA), with 88% fractional bandwidth operating in the 700 MHz to 1.8 GHz range, which covers most of the standardized narrowband internet-of-things (NB-IoT) and LTE-M bands, is fully integrated in 22 nm CMOS FDSOI. A single-stage differential amplifier core, combined with an on-chip balun, realizes a single-ended output. A stacked circuit architecture, with 3.3 V LDMOS tr
Nanostraw substrates have great potential for achieving minimally invasive cell transfection. Cells located on the nanostraw substrate are subjected to mild DC electric pulses applied across the nanostraw substrate, which open pores in the cell membrane on top of the nanostraws and drives charged cargo through these pores via electrophoresis. However, with this method, the current may leak throug
Background: Individuals with intellectual disability (ID) are less physically active, have a higher body mass index (BMI) and are at greater risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) than people without ID. The purpose of the study was to explore the effectiveness of a web-based training programme, consisting of 150 min of activity per week, on the health of people with ID. Method: Participants with
Cooperative breeding allows the costs of parental care to be shared, but as groups become larger, such benefits often decline as competition increases and group cohesion breaks down. The counteracting forces of cooperation and competition are predicted to select for an optimal group size, but variation in groups is ubiquitous across cooperative breeding animals. Here, we experimentally test if gro
Background: Self-reported sex problems among women diagnosed with reproductive and nonreproductive cancers before the age of 40 are not fully understood. This study aimed to determine sexual dysfunction in young women following a cancer diagnosis in relation to women of the general population. Furthermore, to identify factors associated with sexual dysfunction in women diagnosed with cancer. Mater
This paper develops a model based on the concept of Positive Mathematical Programming (PMP) that is useful for ex-ante analyses of how policy measures affect commercial fisheries. PMP models are frequently used in agriculture, but rarely for analyzing fisheries. Fisheries often face a large set of constraints such as effort regulations and catch quotas of which some might be binding and others not
Dementia causes substantial suffering for affected persons and their family care-givers. Because no cure is available, it is important to investigate how alternative therapies can improve life for these individuals. For the current study, persons with dementia (PwD) were recruited from a specialized Memory Clinic in Sweden to en-gage in a choral singing intervention for 1 hour per week for four se
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) shares similar immunological and clinical features with multiple sclerosis (MS), and is therefore widely used as a model to identify new drug targets for better patient treatment. MS is characterized by several different disease courses: relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), primary progressive MS (PPMS), secondary progressive MS (SPMS), and a rare progress
In order to solve the problem of the uneven distribution of the flow and ammonia concentration field in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) denitrification system of a 660 MW coal-fired power plant, a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was established at a scale of 1:1. The existing flow guide and ammonia fume mixing device were then calibrated and optimized. The relati
Mechanical behavior of meniscus can be modeled using constitutive material models of varying complexity, such as isotropic elastic or fibril reinforced poroelastic (FRPE). However, the FRPE material is complex to implement, computationally demanding in 3D geometries, and simulation is time-consuming. Hence, we aimed to quantify the most suitable and efficient constitutive model of meniscus for sim
Background: Clinical Impression of Severity Index for Parkinson's Disease (CISI-PD) is a simple tool that can easily be used in clinical practice. Few studies have investigated the relationship between health-related quality of life and the CISI-PD. Objective: To analyze the association of CISI-PD scores with those of generic (EQ-5D-5L) and Parkinson's disease (PD) disease-specific (Parkinson's Di
Within the Action Plan for Humanitarian Adaptation to Climate Change initiated by the German Federal Foreign Office a new and innovative framework to humanitarian action is developed, the forecast-based financing mechanism. This scientifically based funding system shall enable practitioners and donors to react faster to oncoming natural extreme events, while supporting local communities in adaptin
ObjectiveGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is an established risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) that is possible to prevent by systematic follow-up and preventive measures. The aim of this study was to examine whether women with previous GDM were offered follow-up in primary care, according to Swedish national guidelines.DesignRetrospective review of electronic medical re
E-poster, 2-minute presentation Statement of Problem Self-generated mobility, defined as the capacity for independent movement, plays a critical role in early childhood development. Limited mobility, often associated with conditions like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy, poses significant developmental delays, particularly impacting physical, social, and cognitive growth. Description of the Co
Combined density functional theory (DFT) and X-ray standing wave (XSW) studies have previously provided evidence for the preferential adoption of an inverted conformation of 2H-TPP on Cu(111) in contrast to the saddle conformation usually favored by porphyrin molecules adsorbed on metals. We experimentally demonstrate, via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, that the binding energies
False lumen management of chronic aortic dissections has evolved during the past decade. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) continues to be the mainstay of endovascular dissection treatment and relies on the adequate sealing of the proximal entry tear. However, TEVAR alone often fails to achieve aortic remodeling due to persistent distal retrograde perfusion of the false lumen with contin
